100 day since Megxit
THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex are 100 days into their new life as financially independent royals and have begun championing new causes from racial equality to combating hate speech.
Meghan and Harry moved to America with son Archie just a few weeks before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the globe, and like everyone else have been living under lockdown.
But as they have emerged as restrictions have lifted the couple have voiced their opinions about issues, especially the renewed focus on equality and race that followed the death of George Floyd in the United States.
In the wake of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement the couple spoke to young Commonwealth leaders and Harry raised the colonial background of the Commonwealth: "When you look across the Commonwealth, there is no way that we can move forward unless we acknowledge the past.
"So many people have done such an incredible job of acknowledging the past and trying to right those wrongs, but I think we all acknowledge there is so much more still to do."
Harry's words came after
Meghan, who became the first mixed race person to marry a senior royal, delivered an impassioned speech to her old high school following the death of Mr Floyd, sharing her "absolute devastation" at racial divisions.
The couple have been working behind the scenes to urge top executives across the world to stand in solidarity with groups which are calling for a Facebook boycott. They have also spoken with a number of organisations leading the Stop Hate for Profit campaign, which is calling on businesses to pause advertising on the platform over the social network's failure to do more to remove hate speech.
